Olokode said Agbebaku and Oderinde were arrested on March 2, 2022, while Ajibola was arrested on February 9, 2022.

He said: “In the course of investigation, Agbebaku David confessed that he deserted from the Nigeria Army in the year 2015, later rearrested, de-kitted and consequently dismissed by the Army authority in the year 2020 as Lance Corporal.
